Sweet Tarts Hearts

Ziplock Baggie

Cup

Microwave safe bowl

Wax paper

Watch how heart shaped pretzels are made:

Directions:

Melt the Candy Quik in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely melted.

Pour the melted Candy Quick in a baggie. Place the baggie over a cup to help keep the baggie opened for pouring!

Lay out a piece of wax paper and place the pretzel twist on top.

Cut the corner of the baggie and “color” in one side of the pretzel with the melted Candy Quik like this:

Repeat step 4 on the other side of the pretzel to create a heart shape.

Place a Sweet Tarts heart in the middle.

Let them dry for about 15 minutes or so.

They will come off of the wax paper very easily once the are completely dried. Place all of the pretzels in a bowl or a clear goodie bag and hand them out for Valentine’s Day!
